It’s early yet, but Alvaro Quiros has just finished off
the round of the day, a 67 that brought him from even par to 5
under for the tournament. The big-hitting Spaniard made his sixth
and final birdie at the 18th hole -- much to the delight of the
fans in the massive grandstands that are starting to fill up in
earnest now.

U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell is also making up some
ground. The affable Northern Irishman started the day at 1 under
after a third-round 74 but has made six birdies and two bogeys in
his first 14 holes to climb into the top 10 – for now, at
least. –
